i think a lot of my early dysphoria didn't manifest as a like.... direct hate or dislike of anything about my body so much as just a dissociation. a total "i don't feel anything about this because it doesn't feel like me".
nowadays i'm at a point where i feel more connected to myself. i think the body is like anything, you gotta personalize it a bit before it feels like home. you can't just be running stock, off the shelf, no stickers, default factory settings.
